If you are aware of endgame patterns, you spot key moves quicker,
analyse and calculate better, avoid making errors and memorise what
you have studied more fully. Most of the patterns Jesus de la Villa
presents in this new book are from the phase of the game just
before a theoretical endgame turns up. Knowing these practical
endgame fundamentals will enable you to fully reap the benefits of
what you learned in De la Villas widely acclaimed classic 100
ENDGAMES YOU MUST KNOW. Studying patterns only makes sense if you
are going to encounter them frequently. De la Villa presents those
that have the greatest practical importance and explains and
illustrates them with carefully selected examples. To show the
patterns as clearly as possible, he mainly concentrates on
positions in which both sides have just one piece. Presenting
positions with more pieces risks blurring the picture and making
motifs less straightforward. The fact that players think in
patterns has an important side-effect: their endgame errors tend to
repeat themselves. Thats why De la Villa has not just included
examples from games of elite GMs but also of amateurs. Errors are
always instructive and working with this book will seriously reduce
the number of typical mistakes you are prone to make. The many
practical exercises that De la Villa has selected will help you
improve and retain what you have learned.
